Thesis Title

‘The Brava Gente Caught on Tape’: Listening in to Captured Italian Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen in Britain during the Second World War.

I am a third year PhD Student in the Department of History at the University of Nottingham. My PhD research currently centres on Italian Prisoners of War who were interned in the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (United Kingdom) – or CSDIC (UK) during the Second World War.

My work with the Rights Lab is based around the Antislavery Usable Past project. In particular I am looking into how images and photographs of the Holocaust have been used by museums and memorial sites around the world.
